  1. Fidesz held a congress today and Italian PM Giorgia Meloni sent a short video message ([as did other foreign politicians](https://telex.hu/belfold/2026/01/10/fidesz-kongresszus-kulfoldi-politikusok) like Milei, Vučić, Weidel, Le Pen, Netanyahu, etc.). Here’s what [she said](https://youtu.be/g4yTcMlnOE4?t=9958):

    >Dear friends from Fidesz! It’s a great pleasure for me to bring my greetings to all of you and to my very good friend Viktor Orbán. Together we fight many battles. Most of the time we agree, at times we may disagree, but we know how to understand each other, because we are united by higher values: our friendship, our love for our peoples and the deep bond between our nations united by a shared heritage and by the three colours of our beautiful flags. Together we stand for a Europe that respects national sovereignty, is proud of its cultural and religious roots and its identity, strong in protecting its borders and its security, courageous in supporting families as the fundamental cell of our societies, and pragmatic in defending our producers from bureaucratic overregulations and ideological green follies. Across our continent these values are prevailing and I sincerely hope, dear Viktor and dear friends, that they will continue to prevail in Hungary as well. God bless you all.

  2. What’s the deal here? I thought the EU was worried that Orbán winning the election would harm Europe’s security and Ukraine and Meloni was pro-Ukraine. What gives?

  3. Italy should not be looked to as a beacon of hope in these times. The history shows us enough to know.

    Why are people surprised?

    Domestically, Meloni is just as bad as Orban, with the difference that she has not succeeded to capture the courts (yet).

    People just care about her not being pro Russia like Orban?

  5. im a big Meloni fan, what an embarrassing thing to watch. Especially as she says she stands for things that orban clearly does not. they have been on opposite sides on EU issues a lot.

    well you know what they say, if you cant say anything bad about your “side” then you’re brainwashed

    I’m honestly surprised how much space she gets on European medias.

    She’s nobody. She never answer queations, she just send pre-filmed videos where she just talks about what’s she’s interested. 

  7. The lackeys of us and russia doing their usual job, anythibg to weaken europe and pronote the far right

  8. Gentile Presidente del Consiglio, Viktor Orbán ha distrutto il mio Paese; sotto il suo governo durato quasi quindici anni, l’Ungheria è scivolata tra gli ultimi posti all’interno dell’Unione Europea. Le chiedo di andare oltre i meschini interessi di potere e di permettere agli ungheresi di liberarsi dalla presa di quest’uomo e di scegliere per sé un’alternativa più competitiva.

    La ringrazio.

  9. SUCH PROGRESSIVE MIND! SHUCH GOOD RIGHT!

    Today has been a good day. Vindication feels SO sweet. We tried to tell you morons that a post-fash is gonna fash and opportun but nooooo. You wanted to know more than Italians about the quality of their PM.

  10. NOOO! how could Reddit’s hottest patriotic center-right anti-Russia babe have done such a thing? Ms. Meloni has let all of r/europe down 😢😢😢😭😭😭

  11. And this (among other things) is why I don’t trust her. She can’t be against Putin and pro Ukraine on one hand but then support Orban.

    What an imbaracement, she got elected. Politics is really suffering lack of personel

    Anyone saying Meloni isn’t a f*cist anymore will be in for a big surprise once more her allies get power (AfD, Le Pen and Konfederacja from Poland).
